Crockman's Lair learn to draw manga
Welcome dudes !!!
Its has been four years since I first publish the page and there has been an
enourmous amount of support given to me for my crusade of giving away
free drawing lessons .So for all those people who belived in the Lair....
Thanks dudes !!!!!. I hope that this new update will be the beginning of a
new era for the Lairman and his Lair.
For beginning our manga classes all we need is a couple of pencils (
HB,2B ) a bunch of bond paper (newspaper is also good and cheaper or
you can use any other) , a good eraser and lot of imagination. Later we
will discuss what kind of brushes, inks and other things we will need to
make really neat manga drawings. For now consider this a place for
sharing tips and technology about anything that has to do with drawing
,specially MANGA .
For our study we will divide our lessons in eight basic
parts:

In the way we advance ,I will include things about Architecture, Animation,, Music, Movies ,Etc. All the
information here is also available in Spanish so if you want to see them the just hit the link .If you want to send
me drawings ,or exchange information feel free to write me to :

Boys and girls It’s MECHA TIME !!!


If there is one thing that reminds me my childhood is when I see those old Mazinger Z ,Gundam and.Daitarn 3
shows.During those days I used to draw all those robots and spacecrafts every time I had a piece of paper and a pencil in
my hands.
Boys and girls It’s MECHA TIME!!!
Let´s start with a little bullshit of how mechas are classified.
According to the great Kahuna sage KaluwakuTorpedo ,Mechas can be classified as follow:
Batloids:Those that had the form of the function that they serve for
Zooids:Those who have shapes of animals

Aneroids:Those who have human shape.
Aneroids are also divided in three groups:
Areoids: Those with man shape

Boys and girls It’s MECHA TIME !!!
When I told you that understanding the geometry of the human shape will help you to draw mechas this is what I mean:

Having the geometriced shape of a human ,you can create a mecha by simply changing the proportion and volume of
certain parts of the anatomy and adding things like cables,spikes,visible machinery and anything that looks mechanical or
gives your mecha a MASIVE and HI-TECH look.See that a lot of the mechas you see in cartoons are a mix of armored
europeans knights, samurai armored warriors and american football players.
Note also the fact that you have to add big shoulder pads to give them that a strong look and slim legs to give them agility
and speed.You can also incorporate elements of design like wings,tails extra arms and guns,lasers or swords .The head of
your mecha could be a normal or modificated armor mask or some sort of helmet with a small window where your pilot
can operate it .Of course this is not the case if you are drawing a valkirie or a transformer type of mecha where a vehicle of
some sort transforms himself into a mecha.Keep in mind that your mecha has to retain some of the elements of the vehicle
where it is suppose to come from..

What’s up dudes


Lesson #7

What’s up dudes!!
Is me Crockman !!, after almost been killed by forces beyond human ken., the man is back.
Back in lesson #4 I tried to explain the basic construction of the head , and in lesson #6 I tried to get a little more deeper
in the subject .But I have recived a lot of mail concerning the nose so I have decided to make a lesson just about it.
In illustration #1 we see the nose in front view and in illustration #2 in lateral view.
In front view all we see of the nose is a vertical line between the eyes and a semi–oval next to it that indicates the shadow
that the nose casts and the direction in which the light comes from.Most of the times we dont draw the shape of the nose
but the shadows it cast over the face. In the case of the male nose , we can draw a small triangle over the mouth to
represent the shadow it cast .
Semi-oval
Triangle
In the lateral view is where we can actually see the real form of the nose, it begins as a curve in the end of the forehead
and then goes down in a straight line to the chin. In most side views of the face the mouth will appear at the side of the
face ( almost beneath the eyes) and not below the nose.
